Artie: So...I was thinking. I know we don't really interact much, but...I really like you.
Sugar (smiles): Really? I knew the whole school likes me, but I didn't think আপনি like me THAT way.
Artie: Well, I watched some of the চলচ্ছবি আপনি put on Twitter, trying to perfect your অভিনয় skills. I've grown to like it.
Sugar (sweetly): Thank you.
(At that moment, Rory shows up with a white box with a red ribbon on it. Artie looked up at him, envying him.)
Rory (to Sugar): Sugar, here's my present to you, to প্রদর্শনী আপনি how much I've grown to like you.
(Sugar opened up the box. Inside was a charm bracelet with পরাকাষ্ঠা and red hearts on it. She jumped up happily and hugged Rory tightly.)
Sugar: It's so beautiful.
Rory (grinning): Thank you.
(Sugar skipped away after closing her locker, leaving Rory and Artie staring at each other.)
Artie: When did আপনি decide to get her a bracelet?
Rory: Last night after we hung out with Mercedes and Finn the other day. When did আপনি decide to speak with Sugar about liking her?
Artie: Last night after watching আরো of her Twitter videos.
Rory (laughing): Pathetic.
Artie: Hold up. You're calling me pathetic?
Rory: আপনি can't possibly use a social networking site to find love, can you?
Artie: How would আপনি even know? আপনি don't have a Twitter, nor আপনি know what it is.
Rory: Trust me; I've learned a little about American life back in Ireland. I know all about আপনি Americans.
Artie (staring up at Rory's eyes): Here's what's gonna go down. I'm Sugar's তারিখ to her Valentine's দিন party. You're not going to stop that from happening.
Rory: Oh, I'm not?
Artie (confident): You're not.
Rory: We'll see about that.
(For the rest of the day, and on the following day, Artie and Sugar were both competing for Sugar's love. They each gave ফুলেরডালি and candy, put প্রণয় notes in her locker, and gave her poems. Unfortunately, each of the boys' presents seemed bigger than the other. Then on the 10th of February, Sugar walked into the choir room, looking mad. She handed Artie a drawing of her.)
Sugar: Is this some kind of joke?
Artie: What?
Sugar: আপনি made me look like a weiner dog!
Artie: I didn't do that.
Sugar: Then why does it say 'To Sugar, From Artie'?
Puck: Busted.
Tina: Mean, Artie.
Artie (to Tina): Stay out of this, Tina! (He turns to Sugar.) I really didn't do that, Sugar, honest.
Rory (walking in the room): Guys, I planned a number to perform today--
Sugar: Rory!
Rory (to Sugar, innocently): Yes, Sugar?
Sugar: I loved every single present আপনি got me for Valentine's Day. I think I like আপনি আরো that Artie. Will আপনি be my তারিখ for Valentine's Day?
Rory (smiling): I would প্রণয় to.
(Sugar rushes over to give Rory a hug. Artie feels let down inside. Puck pokes him on the shoulder.)
Puck: Don't be upset. আপনি can take one of the chicks from the sorority I'm taking if আপনি like. It's twice as good. আপনি get two for one!
(Afterschool, Sugar met up with Brittany, Santana, and Mercedes.)
Santana: You're gonna have pet Irish as your তারিখ for Valentine's Day?
Brittany: Wonderful choice. He's really magical. He once got me a full box of marshmallow Lucky Charms. Maybe he'll get আপনি some for another present. You're really lucky...just like the Lucky Charms.
Sugar: Thanks for the support, Brittany.
Mercedes: Well, the God Squad would be glad to perform at your party, Sugar.
Santana: God Squad?
Mercedes: Yes, we perform songs for people, only for ten dollars.
Santana (nodding): Okay, then.
(Santana turns the other way. Sam and Joe are standing দ্বারা the steps, playing their guitars. Three girls were smitten দ্বারা their looks and their voices. Santana grew a smirk on her face.)
Santana's Thoughts: Brittany seems like the most underrated person out of the whole স্বতস্ফূর্ত club...or is she? I always forget about vampire girl and flexi-dancer. I want Brittany to feel special this year. I'm still mad about whoever told Figgins about us. I wonder if it was that new kid. He's gonna get what's coming to him.
(Santana was shaken দ্বারা Sugar, sitting across from her.)
Sugar: Did আপনি hear me?
Santana: What?
Sugar: I said, don't আপনি think Rory is the cutest boy ever?
Mercedes: Kind of.
Brittany: I would know. He magically appeared in my house with a happy smile on his face.
Santana (watching Rory across the way, winking at Sugar): Ugh, I've seen better.
Well, what do আপনি think? I hope আপনি liked it.
